The Lovely Bones actress will don the infamous wings for a multiple-episode arc in the show's third season when the core cast travels to Neverland in hopes of rescuing Henry (Jared Gilmore) from the surprisingly evil clutches of Peter Pan, the series' new big bad who has yet to be cast.
There's no news yet as to what Tinkerbell's personality will be like on the enchanting drama, but creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis revealed at Comic-Con last weekend that the fairy will make her glittery debut in an surprising way. The creators also hinted that she will also have a unique and unlikely connection to another character; they would only rule out Captain Hook.

Details are very hush-hush as to who will be cast as Tinkerbell's Neverland best friend, Peter Pan. However Jennifer Morrison exclusively told E! Online that fans can expect to meet a "villainous 17-year-old boy" who is both "terrifying" and "the most feared villain of all time." Yikes!
The news of Tinkerbell's debut is just one of a long list of magical casting announcements including a brand-new Robin Hood in season three and the news that Lost's Naveen Andrews will be joining Once Upon a Time in Wonderland as Jafar.
